Questions, answers

What services do you offer?

We offer a range of design services, including Commercial Design for businesses, Residential Design for homes, and House Staging to prepare properties for sale. Each service is tailored to meet specific needs, whether it’s creating a welcoming home, designing a functional commercial space, or enhancing a property’s market appeal.

How does the design process work?

Our design process typically involves an initial consultation to discuss your needs and vision, followed by concept development and space planning. Once the design concept is approved, we move on to sourcing materials, furnishings, and decor, with regular updates to keep you informed. For larger projects, we also manage contractor coordination to ensure everything runs smoothly.

What is the timeline for a design project?

Timelines vary depending on the project’s scope. Smaller projects, like room makeovers or staging, typically take 2–4 weeks. Larger residential and commercial projects may take several months. We’ll provide an estimated timeline during your consultation and keep you updated throughout the process.

Do you work within a specific budget?

Yes, we work closely with clients to establish a budget at the beginning of the project. We aim to create beautiful and functional spaces while staying within your financial expectations. Our team will provide options that align with your budget and offer alternative solutions if needed.

How involved will I be in the design process?

Your level of involvement is entirely up to you! We value client input and are happy to include you in every step. If you prefer a hands-off approach, we’ll handle all details and provide updates as needed. Your comfort with the process is our priority.

Can you work with existing furniture and decor?

Absolutely! We’re happy to incorporate any existing pieces you’d like to keep. Whether it’s a family heirloom or a favorite piece of art, we’ll find a way to blend it seamlessly into the new design.
